J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Marqeta (San Francisco, CA) en janv. 2020
Entretien
Don't waste your time by interviewing with Marqeta! They are just interviewing candidates to get their employees some interview experience! Interview process includes a phone screen (LC -easy/medium) and 4 hours of Onsite. The onsite includes 1 behavioral, 1 coding, 1 design and 1 product round . I solved the design question and the follow up questions which include adding more features and finding a bug in the question. The interviewer was happy with my answers and for the bug fix. Coding question was a very common LC question which I solved 100 %, but the dumb interviewer didn't think so. The behavioral interview was OK. But the last round with a product manager was a joke! It was another behavioral interview with minor focus on product. I got a call from the recruiter 2 days later asking for the feedback regarding interview process! WTF! When asked about the next steps repeatedly, he told that it was a reject as the interview feedback didn't match senior level expectations! Seriously! If solving the design question and all the follow up questions completely doesn't qualify a candidate for a senior level engineer, what else does?? Please please don't waste candidates time. Get a life!

The interview process was well structured. Each and every step was outlined perfectly in the introduction and everything followed a definite timeline. I really appreciate the clarity and the standards they set during the initial stages of the interview.

Entretien
Recruiter call, followed by a screen share coding round and a Hiring manager interview.( interviewers were really friendly and giving the pointers on the approach ).
Recruiter reached out to schedule 3 more rounds ( 2 behavioural 45 mins each ) and a system design ( screen share - Lucid chart ).
Overall process took 2.5 weeks and the recruiter gives immediate feedback after each round ( without wasting much time). It was a very smooth process.

I had a job interview with Marqeta, and after talking to the recruiter, I was invited to the next stage, which was an online coding test. I was asked to design an LRU cache, which I did completely and tested as well.
The next day, I received a rejection letter with reasons that were not convincing at all. I felt that the decisions were very subjective and not based on clear principles and rules.
I feel like I wasted my energy and time.
